This summer, the Danish Investment Screening Act will be three years old, and the Ministry of Industry, Business and Financial Affairs is planning an evaluation of the Act. In preparation for this, the Danish Business Authority has published a retrospective offering statistics on cases processed since adoption of the Act and has also launched a public consultation to learn about stakeholders' experiences with the Act.

A look back at the DBA's processing of cases

For the purpose of the evaluation, the DBA has published a brief overview with some general information on the processing of cases in the period from 1 July 2021 up to and including 30 June 2023, as well as some preliminary experiences with the two phased administrative procedure that entered into force on 1 July 2023.
